The shuttle crew was awakened at 2:03 a.m. EDT by the song “Beautiful Day” performed by the band U2. The song was selected for Mission Specialist Tom Marshburn.
Space shuttle Endeavour is scheduled to land at Florida's Kennedy Space Center Today with a touchdown at 10:48 a.m. The shuttle would begin its descent from orbit with a deorbit engine firing at 9:42 a.m. Weather conditions at Kennedy are forecast to be favorable for landing, although a slight chance of rain is possible.
A second opportunity exists for a landing in Florida today, beginning with a deorbit engine firing at 11:17 a.m., leading to a 12:22 p.m. touchdown.
